Since the college’s beginning in 1901 with only 217 students, Northern Oklahoma College has been on the forefront of advancement. More than 100 years later, OneNet helps to provide the most up-to-date digital connection possible for the over 4,600 students who attend Northern Oklahoma College each year.

Communication is key for the ladies who work in OneNet’s provisioning department. Between the time a customer requests a pricing quote from OneNet, selects OneNet as their service provider then makes the switch to OneNet, there are often numerous behind-the-scene steps that involve collaborating with last-mile providers, ordering new equipment and scheduling installation times.

A classroom full of middle school students simultaneously experimenting with handmade robots, calculating physics equations for rocket launches and engaging in bioengineering projects, might seem a little chaotic. For students at Vanoss Junior High School in Ada, all of these projects, and many more, occur regularly in their science classes, but the scene is a lot calmer than you might imagine.

Cameron University’s Lawton and Duncan campuses now connect seamlessly to each other thanks to OneNet and the Oklahoma Community Anchor Network (OCAN). Because of this direct connection, the Duncan campus can now offer more reliable courses for its remote learning options and the university has a stronger business continuity plan.

Collaboration and cost savings are hot topics on the minds of Oklahoma’s research organizations during a time of reduced budgets. One way our state is combating these issues is by participating in the Great Plains Network, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2017.

Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU-CHS) is tackling Oklahoma’s health care obstacles straight on. Through numerous initiatives, leaders at OSU-CHS are addressing health and educational concerns as well as medical professional shortages.

Imagine running three major university campuses on one network. At any given minute, hundreds to thousands of students, teachers, faculty and administrators need immediate access to the internet. For Northeastern State University’s (NSU) three campuses, reliable internet connectivity is vital to the success of its mission: Gather Here. Go Far.

Previously, biology and internet connectivity occupied completely different spaces of an academic environment. But in a modern age, this is no longer the case. By utilizing technology, life scientists can complete exponentially more experiments at higher levels than ever imaged. At Oklahoma State University (OSU), researchers are leveraging robust OneNet connectivity to maximize genome sequencing research.

Many of Oklahoma’s tribal communities are in rural areas of the state. Providing services to these citizens can be challenging if high-speed internet is not readily available. Leadership for the Chickasaw Nation recognized this challenge facing its community and partnered with the Oklahoma Community Anchor Network to ensure that our state’s tribal citizens have the same access to quality health care opportunities as those who live in metropolitan areas.

Across the state of Oklahoma, more than 100 institutions enjoy access to state of the art supercomputing resources. This is the face of modern research, and The Oklahoma Cyberinfrastructure Initiative (OneOCII) is enabling Oklahomans to pursue these high volume projects without limitations.
